West Hillhurst
West Hillhurst is located in close proximity to Calgary’s downtown core. It borders the Bow River and is close to tons of necessary amenities and services. Many of the houses were built as “Victory Homes” for soldiers returning from World War II. A number of these buildings are still standing despite the fact that many were only intended to be temporary.
